>So you keep using an older version until you update your system and it unsurprisingly stops working, as the average Linux program has the same shelf life as a half rotten banana. But wait, since it's FOSS you can always just fix the program's spaghetti source yourself, and keep doing that for the rest of your life as it breaks with each system update. Muh freedumb!
You're not wrong, but as Win10 has shown Microsoft's efforts to embrace Linux have shown their effect with every major Wangblows feature update you have no choice to install outside of the corporate LTSC track breaking more and more older software, which on Win7 and prior versions could be partially avoided by not manually refusing to install or uninstalling specific updates, but oy vey das antisemitic and too complicated for the average user so it needs to goy.
On Linux on the other hand as long as you have the sauce, you can technically "update" a program's expiration date by recompiling with static linking for your current system at any time, even if you have to manually edit the build scripts and/or source code.
I still view this as the better option on a per-application basis compared to building an entire wrapper or emulator, especially considering you don't have to go through the tranny autism of manually decompiling everything.
